Folks:
I need an advise from somebody well versed in computers. I have bought a new laptop, Dell Inspiron 9400. This is a pretty powerful dual core  machine. I found it much faster than my previous Toshiba-Centrino, and of course I feel good about that. But what I have noticed is that each of the processors works only 50% of its time, that means that I have no advantage of its "dual-coreness" when I work in s-plus. Is that possible to somehow take more from a dual core machine? Maybe there is some kind of settings in S-PLUS or in OS?
thank you
